Female Breast Reduction

The information provided above in the discussion of breast lift surgery is also relevant to any discussion of female breast reduction surgery. The distinguishing difference between the two procedures is the simple fact that a breast reduction, in addition to performing a "lift” to raise and tighten the breast, also removes a variable amount of breast tissue to simultaneously decrease breast size. The resulting scars and final breast appearance are, otherwise, identical. In the case of breast reduction, it's advised that removed breast tissue be submitted for routine laboratory testing.
